Well, definitely you are missing something basic somewhere.  I don't 
know if you simply haven't read the docs enough, or you have but they're 
not proving all that useful, or you haven't seen a good example, or 
what.  I will recommend looking at the CMake build for the Chicken 
Scheme-to-C compiler, as it does all the stuff you're interested in 
doing.  It even deals with the pitfalls of building both static and 
dynamic libraries in the same build, as of CMake 2.4.3.

http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/chicken-2.5rc1.tar.gz
and read INSTALL-CMake.txt

I'd be interested to know if you find my build to be helpful or not 
helpful for your problems getting started.  It is supposed to function 
as a tutorial.

I'd be interested to know to what degree the standard / typical CMake 
docs are / are not useful.
